Support Education as a Means to a Job

The best guarantee of a good job is a quality education. Students and parents who take out new loans to pay for college currently face considerably higher interest rates than once before. In particular, older students who would like to pursue advanced degrees were hit hard by those past increases. House Democrats have already passed legislation to cut the interest rates on student loans in half. Democrats continue to fight to keep student loan debts low so that graduates can compete in today’s competitive job market.

Dear Senate Republicans,

The best guarantee of a good job is a quality education. Lowering interest rates can make it less expensive for students to pursue college education or advanced degrees, which in turn can positively influence job prospects. I urge you to consider the long term effects of decreasing the cost of going to college on our future work force.
Sincerely,
